Phase Four– Relocation of School Administration Offices to the front of campus (completed 9/2017)

Phase One Completed September, 2010

Our Lady of Loreto Center – 22,000 square ft. facility using ICF (insulated concrete forms) construction which is considerably more energy efficient. The thermal resistance (R-values) are considerably higher than industry standards and reduce HVAC costs as much as 40%.

Gymatorium (combination gymnasium/auditorium)

(2) 6th, 7th and 8th grade classrooms

State of the art Science Lab

Physical Education offices

Men and Women’s restrooms

Snack bar

Phase Two Completed July, 2011

The Virginia G. Piper Foundation awarded the Diocese of Phoenix a large grant and SS. Simon & Jude received a significant portion of those monies. We used the monies primarily to renovate all of our existing classrooms. They received new paint, new carpet, dual pane windows, ceiling tile, blinds, ceiling fans, cabinets and LED lighting. (LED lights are 300% more efficient than traditional lighting and have a very long life, about 50,000 hours of use) Monies were also used to install fiber optics/wireless throughout the campus and remodel restrooms in our cafeteria.

Phase Three Completed September, 2013

This third phase (approximate cost of $500,000) was completed August, 2013. This 5,000 square ft. facility’s interior was completely transformed and now houses a completely remodeled library/computer space, small conference room and religious education offices. The library space includes both PC and Apple computers, a story time area for the younger children and a collaborative learning space for the older grades

Phase FourCompleted September, 2017

The fourth and final phase moved the existing school offices and centralized additional administrative personnel to the first floor, and added four additional classrooms to the second floor. The building is located at the front of the campus and provides a single point of entry to our school and creates a more secure campus which was something greatly desired by our school community. The cost of this phase was $2.5 million and fundraising is still in progress. The kick-off to this final phase was provided by our Grand Breakfast held in 2013 which raised $300,000.
